I'm doing good.  It has now been a month after surgery.  So far I have lost 38lbs and 3inches in my waist.  I'm still tired.  I have not received the energy boost as I thought I would.  I'm still using protein shakes to get my protein in.  I havent done to well on new foods yet.  My doctor said it will just take some time.  I want to thank everyone that pray and thought about me during my surgery.  I had never had surgery before so I cant compare the pain.  I belive the worst pain I felt was when I return to work the second week and sitting in my chair.  Thankfully  I only work 4 days that week and two of them were half days.

Its been two months and 2 weeks  after surgery and I have lost 55lbs.  Im doing great!  I have gone from a 3X to XL!   Im able to eat fish and I do ok with chicken.  There has been a few times I got sick eating chicken.  I only eat the chicken breast with no skin.  Im still kind of tired.  I have stopped drinking protein shakes and gone to eating a protein bar in the morining.  I get 19grams of protein from the bar.  Im just too lazy to get up and cook something like eggs.  The only thing I have been craving alot for is bread and steak.  I can not wait until Im able to eat that again.  Its amazing how much convenience I have gotten back.  I still want to lose another 90lbs to get to my goal weight 150lbs.  There has been a few times I have broked down and ask myself what in the world have I done.  But 99% of the time Im glad that I had surgery.

Its been threes month since surgery and I have lost 67lbs!  Im feeling great.  Im still at a XL.  Ive been able to eat hamburger.  Its hard not to put the the hamburger in a bun.  I also tried baked ham and I did fine good.  It seems good to have some varity in your food.

Its been four months since surgery and I have lost 72lbs!  Im a little disappointed this month. Ive only lost 5lbs. I was hoping to lose 10lbs at least. My husband tells me that Ive done great to lose 72lbs in 4months.  What bothers me is Im slowing down.  Im still a XL.  Everyone is telling me how good I look.  Ive been enjoying that.  Im still feeling tired.  My doctor told me I might feel tire another 2 months.  I hope not.

Its been 5 months out and I have lost 83lbs!  Im much happier this month.  Ive lost 11lbs where I only lost 5lbs last month.  Im still very tired.  Im worried that I might be dehydrated.  I see my family doctor tomorrow regarding sinus, so I will ask her then.  Im still counting down till I can have a steak.  I got less than a month.

Im 7months out and I've lost 95lbs.  Im kind of disappointed that I only lost 5lbs in one month.  I did see my surgeon last month and he was very excited and surpise of my weight loss.  He said he thought I could lose another 25-45lbs in the next six months.  I would love to lose another 55lbs that would make my goal weight of 150lbs.  But hey, I'll take anything.  He told me my weight loss will be slowing down.  I started taking b12 shots.  they have helped alot with my engery.  Im so happy.  I feel better and feel better about myself.  Im able to go into the public and not worry about what people are saying behind my back.  I went to the beach this weekend.  Its the first time in a long time I was comfortable in my bathingsuite at the beach.  I wasnt worried about what people thought. This website has been a God send.  I want to say thank you to everyone on here.
